Introduction

Dockerfile to create a Docker container image for BIND DNS server bundled with the Webmin interface.

BIND is open source software that implements the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols for the Internet. It is a reference implementation of those protocols, but it is also production-grade software, suitable for use in high-volume and high-reliability applications.
